We could just declare that we do not allow tracepoints in arch specific
"switch_to" code. Then you shouldn't need to worry about RCU in
switch_to().

sched_rcu can still work there correct? That is, a synchronize_sched()
should not be affected. As that is needed for the function tracing, and
that may be called within a switch_to.
